Rahul Bajaj, chairman of Bajaj Group, on Monday said the business community in India is closely tracking the US elections scheduled on November 8.

Bajaj said that the ongoing visit of the Prime Minister of UK, Theresa May is critical for India-UK relationship post Brexit.

“This is her first trip outside European Union to India. It is important to us because after Brexit which should come about in two years time, our trade with UK, our investments in UK should not only remain same but should become better,” said Bajaj.

Bajaj also said the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending by corporates mandated by the government from April 2014 has also played a role in development but that does not absolve the government from its responsibilities towards provisioning of basic services whether for education, health or infrastructure.
